Mormons....ye shall become gods yourselves?

Question

..

What i want to know is why do mormons beleive that some of them will become Gods

there is a difference become christ like, and having a Christ like mind, compared to the term becoming Gods yourselves

I speak to mormons and they say no only some of us will become Gods,

1. Is this a faith based on works?
Is there anything more you can do to impress God other than follow his commandments? So how can he favour one of you over the other?

2. Ye shall Become Gods yourselves

Aren't those the very Words spoken to Adam and eve in the Garden of Eden,

They would not have eaten the fruit.
The reason for doing so was that they would become God themselves, judging for themselves waht is good or bad.

The lie that tricked Adma and Eve
is the very same promise that is being offered to the mormons!

Genesis 5:

For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and YE SHALL BE AS GODS, knowing good and evil.

ummmm comments people?

Isolde nice name, reminds me of a play by Shakespeare

Isolde, i hear you, but why were Adam and Eve kicked out of The garden of Eden?

Because they thoguht they shall become Gods themselves, that was why they went throguh witrh the disobedeince

they would not have ate the fruit unless they thoguht they had good reason to

in the end they followed the deciver and not God on the condition they could become Gods themselves and see the reason why they were forbidden to eat the fruit in the first place

if you can provide the reference fo your quote, so i can lokk and try to resolve

Genesis is very clear, and your religeon says you will become Gods, there is only one God, the father god the son and God the spirit.
There is only one king of kings
And God shares his glory with no one

He will reward you, but not by making you a God

This is your reward:

For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like the angels of God in heaven.

Luke 20:28

not as Gods yourselves, but like the angels, like the sons of God, not the son of God, but like the sons of God.

you shall be treated like them

This also indicates that your job is not as a mother producing spirit babies

For it says there is no marriage

This is what the bible says

Answer 1

Because they think God was once a man, just like them.

Answer 2

I'm going to have to disagree with your interpretation of Hebrews 7. I read it as telling the Hebrews that salvation didn't come through the Levitical Priesthood. That's why God had to raise up a High Priest of the order of Melchizedek. It never says that Jesus would be the only or the last one. And no Mormon I've ever met claimed that Jesus didn't come from heaven. We believe that He did. He is the only person on Earth that was fathered by God. That's a huge difference between me and Him. The thought process of "becoming gods [our]selves" is that eternity is a long time. I, for one, believe that I won't be doing the same thing forever. I will continue to learn and progress without end (if I'm worthy to inherite it) Eventually, after who knows how long, I believe we'll develop the knowledge and capabilities to create and organize worlds and people to live on them. Edit: And about receiving the priesthood. In Hebrews 5, it discusses this process. It says that no man can take that honor on himself. He must be called as was Aaron. (Moses brother). In Ex. 28, it shows that the Lord told Moses to choose Aaron. So to receive the priesthood we must be called by God through another person who has that authority. Edit2: That wasn't what I said. I said a man can't take it himself, it must be given by another. God gave the authority to Moses to call Aaron. Moses was the man that had the authority and then gave authority to Aaron.

Answer 3

Jesus himself quoted Psalms saying "Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods? If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken".

Of course when he said this it was not understood and the Jews wanted to stone him. Today you do not understand the love of Heavenly Father. He wants us to inherit all he has. You think him a miser who would hold back a gift to his children. If we learn to exercise authority over a few talents, He will entrust us with more.

Answer 4

atheists believe in no spirit or deity

but they do the role of a god, they become the miracle and just do things
